Multi Sector Blueprint
for an Age-Friendly Minnesota
Minnesota was among ten states to participate in a learning collaborative to advance Multisector Plans for Aging (MPAs). The effort was led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) in partnership with The SCAN Foundation, West Health, and the May and Stanley Smith Charitable Trust.
The year-long, multi-state collaborative was a well-timed opportunity to help Minnesota make the most of its momentum by learning from peers and from CHCS. Our participation has helped us maximize several recent and current efforts that have been building and are coalescing in Minnesota, all of which support a concerted initiative to develop a Multi Sector Blueprint.
